-Kitty's POV-
Okay, so I have to tell Marley that I love her but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
It's pretty easy, just say 'I love you', three words Kitty I'm sure you can handle that
Shut up alright, this is Marley, I can't just tell her, I need to do something special
Why?
Because she's special, now be quiet, I'm trying to think!
Hmm, I remember her telling me something about love, when we were sitting in the meadow. Something about a letter? A love letter! That's it; I'll write her a love letter!
What happened to you?
What?
You used to be cool, now you're writing love letters?
Yeah, well Marley changed me and it was for the better
Ugh, alright fine, what are you gonna write in this 'love letter'?
…I have no idea
That's a good start
Oh shut up
(1 hour later)
Okay, I'm almost done; just a few more lines then it'll be ready for me to give to Marley.
Took you long enough
It would've been done sooner if you'd shut up
Well
I put the finished letter inside an envelope, sealing it shut I write 'Marley' on the back of the envelope and put it in the pocket of my black leather jacket. I suck in a deep breath before grabbing my backpack and heading out my bedroom door and down the stairs quickly, trying to avoid an encounter with my bitch of a mother.
Unfortunately, luck was not on my side today, for as soon as I got down to the last step I heard a cold voice behind me.
"Where did you go last night?" she demands more than asks me, I slowly turn around to see her standing at the top of the stairs with her arms crossed and a hard glare on her face, directed straight at me.
"What do you mean? I stayed locked up in my room, just like you ordered- oh sorry, told me to" I answer her, for once not faltering. I used to be intimidated by her, but now all I see is a messed up, heartless bitch, and I'm a lot more disgusted by her than I am scared of her anymore.
"Don't you talk to me like that Katherine, now I know you didn't stay in your room, I heard you come in last night. Now I'll ask you again, where. Were. You?" she demands again, sternly, her glare towards me only deepening. I breathe out a disbelieving chuckle, just to irritate her.
"Out" I answer shortly before turning back around and heading for the door, wanting to get out of here. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs, and fast. I open the door slightly, only for it to be slammed shut from a hand beside me and I look next to me to see my mother, only an inch away from my face, breathing heavily with a bright red face, to put it simply she looked pretty angry.
"You're starting to get on my nerves you little brat. Now answer my question Katherine!" she yells the last part abruptly, which makes me jump a little and noticing this, she starts to smirk. Bitch.
"I already told you" I say to her, keeping a straight face. She grabs hold of the front of my leather jacket and pushes me up against the wall; okay I'm a little scared now.
"Were you with her?" she spits into my face and I move my face to the side a little, my lips curling in disgust.
"Who's her?" I ask in confusion, oh shit does she know about me and Marley?
Are you still breathing?
…Yes
Then no
Thanks, you're real comforting
"You know who, that disgusting poor girl, Millie is it?" she says with a disgusted face of her own and I snap my head to hers, I know exactly who she's talking about.
"It's Marley and don't you dare say anything about her" I demand to her and she looks surprised at my deep tone but quickly recovers and looks angry again.
"You don't tell me to do anything Katherine and that girl will always be some worthless excuse for a human being, so don't go defending her" she orders me and now I'm the one that's mad.
"You say one more thing about Marley and I'll-" I start but she interrupts me with an evil laugh, god she's like the wicked witch of the west.
"You'll what? You'll. What?!" she yells at me, her laughing stopped and being replaced by rage. I stand there quietly, at a loss of words to say. She chuckles darkly, her grip on my jacket tightening.
"That's what I thought. Now are you going to tell me where… What's that in your pocket?" she asks me suddenly, her eyes flicking down to my pocket where a white corner is sticking out and my eyes widen in panic. The letter.
Shit shit shit shit shit!
"Nothing!" I say quickly, covering the pocket with my hand to so shield it from her eyes. Her head snaps up to look at me suspiciously and I hold eye contact with her, trying to look confident. She once told me that she knows someone is lying when they can't hold eye contact, so for once I'm going to use her advice to my advantage. We stare at each other for another few moments, her eyes studying me and mine trying desperately not to look away. After what seems like forever she stops glaring at me and speaks.
"It better be nothing, because if it's something you'll be in big. Trouble" she tells me, giving me a silent promise and I gulp visibly which makes her stare harden and her grip tighten.
"You'll be late if you don't leave now, but don't think for a second that this conversation is over" she tells me and roughly taps my cheek twice before letting me go and walking back up the stairs.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and clutch the letter inside my pocket tightly before slipping out the door and making my way to school.
…
I sigh when I reach my locker and open it up to put the letter inside, not wanting anyone else asking about it. I'll just give it to Marley after school. When the letter is safely tucked inside my locker, I get out my books for first period and as I do the bell rings. Perfect timing.
I shut my locker and turn around to start to make my way to Math, when I see the most beautiful girl in the world a few rows down from me. A smile forms on my face, all events from this morning disappearing from my mind as I start to make my way towards Marley.
"Hey Mar" I greet her leaning my shoulder casually against the locker next to hers and I see her jump in surprise before she turns to me and a bright smile erupts on her face when she sees me, which just makes my smile grow bigger.
"Hi Kitty" she breathes out and I look around the hallway for a second to see that half the students are gone and the rest are busy making their way to class. I look back at Marley and gently take her books off her and offer her my arm.
"May I have the honour of escorting you to class m'lady?" I say in a posh English accent, which makes her giggle.
"Yes, yes you may" she says back in an English accent of her own and takes hold of my arm while we both laugh softly. As we walk I notice that she's wearing my brown leather jacket again, which makes me smile widely. It looks so cute on her because it's slightly baggy on her.
"So here we are" I say as we come up to Marley's class, she turns to me and smiles brightly. I hand her books to her and she nods her thanks.
"Thanks for the walk" she says to me and I chuckle slightly looking down and shuffling my foot on the floor.
"No problem" I reply, looking up to her with a soft smile.
"I'll see you later" she smiles at me and slowly turns to walk into her class; I nod to her in confirmation.
"Yeah, see you later" I say and walk backwards down the hall until I can no longer see her anymore and start to make my way to class. As I turn around the late bell rings and I groan loudly.
"Dammit!" I scold myself as I start to sprint down the empty hallway to my Math class.
…
-Marley's POV-
I sit in my first period with a bright smile on my face from my earlier encounter with Kitty. She was so cute when she did that English accent and I giggle to myself quietly, thinking about the blonde girl who has my heart. I bite my lip softly, still wondering why Kitty hasn't asked me to be her girlfriend yet. I know for sure that I'm in love with her, but I have no idea if she loves me back.
That's why I'm so afraid of telling her, it's not that I think she'd laugh in my face, Kitty would never do that to me, my fear is a greater one- that she won't say it back.
…
I open my locker up with a sigh, still thinking about my…situation with Kitty. Suddenly I feel a presence beside me and I turn my head with a smile, expecting to see Kitty standing next to me, only to be disappointed to see Jake instead. Now, when I first came to this school, I guess you could say I had a sort of thing for him, but now I know that really it was nothing and I only kind of liked him because he was a little cute. But I could not care less about him now that Kitty is in my life.
"Oh, hi Jake" I mumble, trying not to sound too disappointed that he was here instead of Kitty.
"Hey Marley" he smiled that smile that would make girls swoon, but it had no effect on me. I smile weakly back and turn back around to rummage through my locker aimlessly.
"So I was wondering, you wanna hang out tonight?" he asks smirking, which just annoys me a little. I sigh and turn to him.
"I can't I'm busy tonight, sorry" I apologize but it doesn't sound too sincere, which makes me feel kinda bad.
What, why?
Because he's asking me out and I'm just waving him off, like it's no big deal, I don't want to hurt his feelings
Screw his feelings Marley, he's a womanizer, he doesn't care about anyone's feelings
No, he's not like that, the least I could do is let him down easy
No, actually that's the most you could do, the least would be to slap him in his stupid face and walk away
I would never do that to someone conscience! I'm not a violent person, you know this
Yeah, yeah whatever
"That's great I'll- wait, what?" he asks surprised, losing his cool for a second. What a jerk, did he just assume I would agree?
"I can't. I'm busy. Sorry" I tell him slowly and he laughs a little and looks really confused.
"Uh okay, how about Friday?" he asks again, his smirk reappearing on his smug face. He's just not giving up, poor guy.
"Listen Jake I'm not really looking to be in a relationship right now" I tell him looking apologetic, he looks pretty confused again. Man, I wish Kitty was here.
"What? Marley come on-" he gets cut off by a voice from the other side of me.
"She said she wasn't looking to be in a relationship right now, so why don't you back off?" I would know that voice anywhere, I turn my head and my thoughts are confirmed when I see my Kitty standing there with a black leather jacket on, black jeans and a blue shirt underneath, she's standing just a few inches away from Jake while they glare at each other. I can't help the bright smile that erupts on my face when I see that my wish had been granted, and Kitty was here to save me from what was sure to be an awkward conversation.
Before Jake has the chance to answer, Kitty turns her head to me and smiles and nods her head at me "hey" she says and I swear I almost swoon right there in the middle of the hallway, but I don't, as not to raise any suspicion about me and Kitty, after all we are just supposed to be friends when we're in public. So I just smile back and softly say "hi" and we get broke out of our moment by an angry looking Jake.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Jake almost growls out and my eyes widen in panic when the soft look on Kitty's face is replaced by a glare towards Jake. Now I know Jake has anger problems, he almost ruined his chance of getting in Glee club because of his anger, so I'm scared for Kitty. I don't want her to get hurt again; I mean she's barely recovered from her earlier injuries; she doesn't need any more to add to that.
"Who am I? I'm Marley's…friend, and I know that you're just gonna hump and dump her and I'm not gonna let that happen" she tells him and my eyes soften when I hear Kitty falter on the word 'friend'. But I start to panic again when Jake takes a step towards Kitty and she does the same toward him. I put both my hands on their chest, trying to create some space between them but failing since they're both much stronger than me.
"Guy's come on, don't do this" I plead a little with them as they glare daggers at each other.
"You don't know me and since when are you and Marley friends? Last I recall you were a complete bitch to her" Jake remarks and Kitty's glare only intensifies as they both go back to their staring match, while I attempt to push them away from each other, I say attempt because I'm not achieving anything.
Man, you really need to go to the gym more
Shut up! They are both freakishly strong
"Yeah I was but I'm changed now and it's none of your damn business when Marley and I became friends" Kitty answers him and he inches closer to her menacingly, only for her to do the same, me with my hands still on both of their chests, trying to put pressure on them.
"Whatever, why don't you just run along and let me ask Marley about Friday-" Jake starts smugly but gets cut off by Kitty again.
"Marley's got plans on Friday alright? She's comin' to the football game to support me when I cheer. Y'know Jake, it's funny, girls don't like it when guys pretend to like them and then just completely blow them off" Kitty says sarcastically and she knows that I really don't care about that, but I'm thankful that she's come up with a reason for me not to want to go out with Jake because as you know, I'm a terrible liar.
"Well y'know what? I don't remember asking for your opinion" Jake tells Kitty sternly and I start to grit my teeth together to try and stop myself from yelling at Jake that I really don't want to go out with him. Kitty starts to chuckle, mocking him and I can feel that something bad is going to happen.
"Yeah you're right, I don't want any trouble because you're a badass. You wanna know how I know you're such a badass? Because you ride a razor scooter, I mean nothing screams badass like a razor scooter" Kitty chuckles again and before I can get in the way Jake shoves Kitty back. Kitty stops laughing immediately and goes back to glaring while slamming her backpack on the ground and shoving Jake back, just as hard.
"Guy's please don't- don't do this" I stutter out, laughing nervously and they ignore me, continuing to shove each other, each shove getting harder and harder each time.
"This is stupid!" I yell out getting kind of afraid when they start to grab hold of each other, and pushing and shoving more roughly.
"Stop!" I plead with them, but they continue to fight over me.
"Stop it!" I demand again, bringing my hands up to cover my face when they start to fight a little close to me. Luckily Finn comes to the rescue and breaks them up.
"Hey, hey come on guys, stop! Cut it out!" he orders them, fisting both of their shirts to keep them away from each other. I look to Kitty worriedly, to see that she's just a little red in the face from anger and a little sweat since they're both panting a lot, glaring at each other like mad now.
"I persuade you to stop fighting!" suddenly Tina comes up in a weird…super hero costume? She stands in a strange fighting pose while Jake and Kitty finally stop glaring at each other and change to staring confused at Tina and now Becky who turns up in a…bee costume? Okay, what the heck is going on?!
"Freeze bitches!" Becky yells while pointing a weird looking laser gun at us. Me, Kitty, Finn and Jake all stare at the two bewilderedly, all thoughts of fighting forgotten.
…
-Kitty's POV-
This is ridiculous! I should be in the kitchen with Marley and her mom right now, not sitting on a chair on the stage in the auditorium, across from a complete idiot while Finn rants on about something, I couldn't tell you what because I'm not listening.
Why not?
Because I want to get out of here and go see Marley!
Yeah ok, Kitty if you don't listen right now then I don't think you're gonna be seeing Marley any faster
Hmm, I guess I should start listening now then huh?
No, really?!
"-and I really think you guys should start to get along because if you don't then you'll keep fighting and that's not good for glee club or anyone else either" he finishes with what looks to be a pleased smile on his face, probably thinking he's solved the problem. Oh no, this situation is far from over.
"Look Finn I get where you're coming from, I do. But this isn't gonna work alright, I don't like the guy" I tell him pointing to Jake who's still glaring at me, god would he give it a rest already!
"Yeah and I'm not too fond of you either" he tells me and I just roll my eyes at him while Finn sighs frustratingly.
"Come on guys; just…talk to each other? No fighting, no arguing just talk to each other, y'know learn about each other and stuff" he finishes with another proud smile; I sigh and lean more against the chair.
"Look Finn I can't be in the same room with him without wanting to punch him in the face, what makes you think I would do this?" I ask him disbelievingly, Finn stares at me for a few moments and he looks like he's trying to think of a reason, after another few moments a crooked smile forms on his face again when he answers my question.
"Because I know you care about Marley. Both of you, and if you're fighting all the time, that will disrupt glee and you know that Marley loves glee. So if you don't want to do this for me or yourselves or anyone else, do it for her" he says looking proud of saying something wise for once and I look down, thinking it over.
Are you actually thinking about this?!
Yeah, and I don't need your help so you can go away now
Okay first, of course you need my help, I'm the brain so without me you couldn't think it over even if you wanted too and second, Jake is a jerk so why would you want to talk to him?
I don't want to but Finn has a point, if I don't fight with Jake anymore then it won't disturb Glee and it won't stop Marley from what she loves to do, sing
Yeah okay, but come on, he's trying to go out with Marley and he's just going to irritate you even more if you both actually start talking to each other
Conscience I've made up my mind, so you can go now
Wait, what? Kitty get back here, I'm not finished!
"Alright, I'll do it" I fill the silence and look up to a smiling Finn.
"For Marley" I finish and he nods to me.
…
(After school)
Jesus that was a long day. I walk out my last period and down the hallway, heading for my locker. After the talk in the auditorium I didn't have time to go see Marley, so I haven't talked to her since that little…disagreement in the hallway with me and Jake earlier. Which means I haven't told her about me and Jake having to 'talk it out' with each other.
Great, this is just great Kitty, you got into a stupid fight with Jake and now you have to talk to the jerk until you can both stand each other enough not to fight, oh and let's not forget that he's after Marley, your Marley!
Would you calm down! Jesus Christ, this isn't a big deal, I'll just talk to Jake sometime this week but right now I need to go grab the letter I wrote Marley out my locker
I speed walk to my locker and open it to quickly grab the white envelope inside and stuff it in my pocket. I put my books from last period inside and shut my locker to see Marley next to me which makes me jump.
"Ah! Jeez Marley, you know how to sneak up on people huh?" I say to her, putting my hand on my heart and trying to slow down my breathing. She giggles at me and places her hand on my shoulder.
"Sorry, are you okay?" she asks me, still giggling a little and I smile a little at the sound.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a little shocked" I tell her smiling a cheesy smile at her and she blushes a little before speaking.
"No I mean, are you okay from before? Y'know with the fight between you and Jake?" she asks nervously and I sigh a little, but the smile on my face doesn't go away. Aww, she cares about me.
"Marley I'm fine, it was just a little pushing that's all" I tell her softly and she huffs.
"Kitty that was not 'just a little pushing' that was shoving and roughly" she tells me and I can see she looks worried.
"Marley look at me, I'm fine see" I spread my arms out widely and gesture to my body, she bites her lip and shakes her head before leaning in and wrapping her arms around my neck tightly and breathing me in. I'm surprised at first, but slowly bring my spread out arms around her waist and hug her back.
"I was worried about you, what did Finn say?" she asks into my shoulder and I sigh, knowing that I have to tell her about me having to 'talk' with Jake. I slowly pull away from her and look nervously into her bright blue eyes.
"He said that me and Jake should 'talk it out' and that it would help the glee club if we got along" I tell her, doing air quotes at the words 'talk it out', she gaps for a second and then she looks plain annoyed.
"What? That's ridiculous, how will that help the glee club?" she asks confused with her eyebrows furrowed, which just makes her look incredibly cute.
"I don't know, I guess if we don't fight then it won't disrupt the glee club and we could get more done?" I tell her and she makes an 'O' face and smiles at me.
"Well I'm sorry you have to talk with Jake, I know you don't really like him" she tells me apologetically and I smile at her and shrug my shoulders.
"It's alright, so how are you today?" I ask her starting to get worried again because I know that even though I comforted her last night she's still self-conscious and I want to make sure she's okay.
"I'm ok Kitty, really" she smiles at me and I nod my head, still not fully convinced but letting it go, knowing that it's a sensitive subject for her. I look around to see that the hallway was empty and grab her hand to pull her out the school doors.
"Kitty where are we going?" she giggles as I pull her gently by the hand down the street, I let go of her hand and turn around to her and start to walk backwards as I answer her, smiling.
"I wanna give you something, but I need to give you it in private, where we're alone" I tell her and she seems to understand now where I'm taking her. It's the only place where we can be alone and I don't want anyone to interrupt us when I give her this letter, because this is very important and I'm starting to get very nervous.
"Okay, what do you want to give me?" she asks excitedly with a skip in her step and I laugh at her cuteness.
"It's a surprise Marley" I tell her and she pouts a little.
"Come on Mar, don't pout" I say to her, grabbing her hands and pulling her towards me for a quick kiss which seems to wipe that pout off her face, being replaced with a Marley Rose smile.
"So is your mom okay with you staying with me for a little while?" I ask her, still walking backwards and her swinging our hands in between us.
"Yeah Kitty, she's fine with it, I gotta be back before dark though" she tells me and I nod quickly.
"Okay, that's fine we've got lots of time" I smile at her and turn back around, heading to the meadow, not letting go of her hand.
…
It took us around 10 minutes to get to the meadow and we didn't talk much, but it was a comfortable silence. I was trying not to have a nervous breakdown at how scared I was at giving Marley this letter, because I really am in love with her and if she doesn't love me back, then that will kill me.
We walk to the top of a random hill and sit down on the soft grass. I can see that Marley is really excited about what I have to give to her and that she's dying to ask what it is. I decide to see how much longer she can go without asking, so I lean back on my hands and look at her with a soft smile.
"Okay fine I give in, what do you have to give me?" she asks me with a bright smile on her face and I laugh softly, before I start to get really nervous again.
Would you just give her the letter already?
Hey, this is important, I can't just hand it to her like it's nothing
Ugh, well can you do it faster please? I'm starting to get hungry
Wow you said 'please' you must really by hungry
I am!
"I was wondering when you'd cave" I tell her softly and sit up right. Marley looks at me expectantly and I take a deep breath before looking into her eyes.
"Okay so I've been thinking recently and I knew that I felt…something toward you when I first met you. There aren't enough words in the world to describe how perfect you are Marley. When we kissed and I told you I liked you and you told me that you liked me back, I…don't know how to describe how I felt and how I've been feeling ever since we started hanging out and how I feel every time I'm around you. But I tried to describe how I feel with this" I tell her softly, pulling the envelope out of my pocket and handing it to her. She sits there quietly and I start to get really nervous as she slowly reaches out and takes the envelope from me.
"Everything you should know about how I feel about you is in this letter" I tell her as she breathes out a shaky breath and bites her lip while opening up the envelope.
I can feel my heart going crazy and I watch her as she concentrates on reading the letter. I remember how I thought about how to tell her that I'm in love with her and how long it took me to write it, thinking very carefully. I thought about so hard that I can remember every word I wrote down, and I start reciting what I had said in my head, while Marley read it on the paper.
Dear Marley,
I've been thinking about letters recently. But not just any kind, the love kind. And how it's terrible that no one writes them anymore. So I decided to write one to you. Because I think, I think I might be in danger of falling in love with you.
You're the first thing I think of when I wake up, and you're the last thing I think of before I go to sleep. I can't seem to think of anything but you and every time I see you my feelings grow stronger.
It's like you're an angel who's been sent from above to come and take away my pain. You make everything better by just smiling, you're a miracle.
You're everything I want in life, everything I need in life. You're the reason I bother to get up in the morning to go to school, you're the reason I laugh and smile, you're the reason I'm alive. Marley, you are my life now.
The reason I'm telling you this now is because I was afraid. I know, Kitty Wilde afraid? Well I was. But not for the reason that you think. I was afraid that you wouldn't say it back. No matter what you say, I don't think I deserve your love, I'm unworthy of you. But you tell me different all the time which is one of the reasons why I love you, one reason out of a billion.
Seriously if I wrote down every single reason why I love you…I don't think there's enough trees in the world for that much amount of paper I'd have to use. Truth is I love you with everything I am.
I'm in love with you Marley Rose.
-Kitty
As soon as I'm done reciting it in my head, Marley finishes and slowly looks up to me with the brightest smile I'd ever seen on her face and I could see tears shining in her eyes. I hold my breath for what she was about to say next.
"I love you back" she says, giggling slightly.
It takes a moment for me to process the words she had said before I'm letting out a laugh of relief and I lean in and she meets me halfway in a kiss filled with love. She wraps her arms around my neck, while I hold her waist and I slowly pull way, both of us with matching bright smiles on our faces.
"Marley, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask her softly and she giggles and leaps on top of me.
"Yes Kitty, I'll be your girlfriend" she says and almost squeals and I giggle slightly as she pulls me into a deep, loving kiss that I will never forget.
…
A/N: Sup guys, I told you I would update more! I'm actually pretty surprised I updated this fast xp The reason this is up so fast is because I watched the new Glee yesterday and it was the one where Marley and Jake say they love each other :( so I stayed up writing all this Karley to get the Jarley out of my head…yuck
So since the last chapter was quite deep, I decided to put a little bit of cute things in this chapter, but know that Marley hasn't completely gotten over her bulimia problem yet (like in the show) so there will be some deep, serious things in the future.
So I really, really hope you liked this chapter, I thought a lot about how I wanted them to tell them they love each other and I decided to do it like this, was this a good way? Bad way? Please tell me what you think
Love the reviews, you guys are awesome! So please, please keep reviewing, they give me lots of support to keep writing and it's so great to see that you are all liking this story :)
Hope you guys had a great Easter and that you all ate lots of chocolate, I did and I am not ashamed, it's the chocolate holiday! We can eat however much chocolate we want ;)
So thanks again for all the amazing reviews, favourites/follows! You are all awesome and just PM me if you ever wanna talk. Bye for now :)
